2014 Pinot Noir Rancho Santa Rosa Vineyard
$48 retail
SALE $36/bottle or $403.20
This 10-year old fruit forward wine delights your palate with flavors of cranberry and red currant, while blue fruit and violet tantalize your nose. The structure of this bullish wine enables it to pair well with “beef- it’s what’s for dinner.” After all, the West wasn’t won eating vegetables. Dark chocolate is another pairing option.
2017 Goat Bubbles Blanc de Noirs Ampelos Vineyard
$65 retail
SALE $48.75/bottle or $546/case
Liquid gold in color, this crisp sparkler with zero dosage shows hints of stone fruit on the palate. Enjoy the delightful aromas of dried apricot and peach, as well as roasted almond on the nose. Pair with coconut prawns or yellow curry chicken. Lox and bagels is also a tasty pairing; don’t be afraid to garnish with capers. Other suggestions include baked brie with a pluot compote or a fortune cookie for a hint at your future.

"Yeasty aromas of sourdough lead into brisker touches of nectarine and lemon peel on the nose of this bottling. The yeasty touch extends to the palate, where it picks up a grapefruit-peel edge and proves quite refreshing."
